I'm not suggesting a group agenda, just letting folks know it's there if they want to wander over or tank up on fuel

Hemmings is a great place!


I did some wireless work there about 20 years ago, very classic outfit. They sent me a gallon of Maple Syrup for XMAS.

That's what mine is 455 Rochester Quadrojet- 2-door Hardtop Coupe. It'll do 120 easy on the highway - It just floats-Here's the kicker , I still have pedal left , of course now I'd have to get off at the next interchange to get gas because you can watch the fuel gauge move. Speed.
